The county legislative body, however, has the power, by appropriation made according to law, to pay to deputy sheriffs appointed pursuant to §§ 8-20-103 and 8-20-108 [obsolete], the salary so fixed, direct from the county treasury, within the appropriation made by the county legislative body, irrespective of the legal fees earned by such deputies. In that case, all fees allowed, collected or in any manner received by the deputies will be paid, assigned, transferred and set over to the county, and such fees when received by the deputies, the clerks of the court, the sheriff of the county or by any other person, shall be remitted monthly to the county trustee. No deputy sheriff or other person serving under § 8-20-103 or § 8-20-108 [obsolete] shall claim, hold, or have any interest in any fund for services performed under those sections, this to include any fee or fees which the deputy may be entitled to receive while appearing as a witness in court, either under subpoena or voluntarily. The deputies serving under § 8-20-103 shall make all charges for services performed as now provided by law and will in no event waive, remit, or release any fee for services performed while acting under § 8-20-103.
